Model Who Made Her First Kill At 14 Also Operates A Taxidermy Business Off The Runway

As children, most of us were taught not to judge a book by its cover. This becomes a little harder to remember as we grow up, unfortunately, and we make all sorts of assumptions based on very brief interactions with those around us, even if it’s not our intention to do so.

When we actually take the time to truly get to know somebody, it’s always interesting to learn that many of the things we presumed about that person were completely wrong. Sometimes these surprises are pleasant, but not always…

Kristen Ottea, a 25 year old San Antonio resident, is the perfect example of this. She’s a beautiful model with over 10,000 Instagram followers, but the unexpected hobby she indulges in on her down time has many people talking.

Kristen Ottea, a 25-year-old model from San Antonio, Texas, has gained popularity on Instagram for her pictures. She has over 10,000 followers who anxiously await her daily updates, but it’s not her modeling photos that have people captivated…

You would never guess by her modeling pictures, but Kristen is also a huge hunting enthusiast. She shot and killed her first animal at age 14, and has been in love with the sport ever since.

She often uses the Instagram hashtags #girlswithguns or #girlsthathunt to connect with other hunting aficionados.

Even more surprising, when Kristen isn’t modeling or hunting, she spends most of her time helping her father run a taxidermy business in San Antonio. She says people are absolutely blown away when they learn that she’s a model and a taxidermist!
